The Justice League is a team comprised of the premier superheroes of the DC Universe, making them "The Worlds Greatest Superheroes". The current incarnation of the League bears resemblance to the original Silver Age Justice League of America but features updated versions of its cast of characters for the DC Universe's current "New 52" continuity.

But that would mean having to balance alot of actors. Which leads me back to the question: do we need seven? Perhaps five or six members would be better suited so that each member can be highlighted. And if the film did well enough and got a sequel then that could introduce one or two new members.

If we're not going for seven members then maybe just Superman, Batman, WW, Flash, and GL would suffice.

Yes there should be 7, the team has always had a good balance and history with that number.

Musts: Batman, Superman, Wonderwoman, GL (though I don't want it to be Hal), and Flash

Recommended: Martian Manhunter, and Aquaman

That above is the general picture I think most people think of when they think Justice League

Alternates: Cyborg (to tie in with new 52), Plastic Man (awesome comic relief though Flash does a good job of that too), Hawkgirl (throw back to the TV show), Black Canary (did I mention the JL at the moment only has one female), and Green Arrow (we can havee a Black Widow/Hawkeye analogy with the Avengers movie!!!)

But ya especially for a movie introducing all these characters (and yes that includes Batman and Superman) any more than 7 would just be a burden and a waste of good character development time.

What does everyone think? Should there be seven? More? Less?

Well, really a JL movie only needs three members, the trinity. I think 5 would be a good number though. I'd do:

Well, they will more than likely make it a series, if it does well, so I think having 5(Superman, Batman, WW, Green Lantern, Flash)would be great for the first movie. They can add Aquaman and Martian Manhunter/Cyborg in a sequel.

It should be 5-7. No more than 7 for sure. You can't do good characterisation with more than 6 or 7 main Leaguers. If I had to choose I'd have Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, John Stewart, Barry Allen and Zatanna or Hawkgirl.

1. Even though he's liked, he's not one of the big 5. And he isn't liked outside of fandom, so he's not a draw for a movie without lead-in films.

2. If the story is based on the Justice League: Origin, then Aquaman is the most-easily cut. And the more characters you cut the better, because then everyone left gets more screen time. And it's less confusing to audiences.

Aquaman might not be as interesting depending on the plot. If they don't incorporate some underwater stuff it feels like he is being wasted/underutilized And I think the first movie should just try to be as awesome as it canbe instead of just trying to fit in every character.

My biggest fear with having 7 members is that the movie will just turn into the Superman, Batman and (possibly) Wonder Woman show. Leaving other characters such as Flash and Green Lantern with the short end of the stick.

Focus the movie on three characters primarily throughout the story. Have two as filler and setup people. Add additional two in a future movie. I say, go small or go home.

Team should be Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, and Cyborg. People will come to this movie to see the Big 2, but by keeping the team small it will allow WW, Flash, and Cyborg to shine brighter and kick off their respective franchises.

Green Lantern needs to be treated like Geoff Johns - keep him out of it! I can't stress this enough. We need more time to heal from that awful Ryan Reynolds appearance.

I kind of agree with this. I think DC should try to make this a team movie though, give everyone a role writer fro them so they are important and integral to the part don't just have characters in the movie just to have them in their. But Batman and Superman will most likely get more of the focus.

In My opinion it should be clearly The Trinity, GL, and Flash. Plus one or two more but their going to get the least camera/character development time. Martian,Aquaman,Hawkgirl, Cyborg, and/or Hawkman (+)
